Maybe one-offs - not sure....car ran at LeMans in 2003.

OP

Since you have elected to forego street comfort....

Start combing the Cup forum for used Cup doors. Full windows if possible.
Id try GMG as it appears mooty cleaned out flying lizard.

Worst case you could try Getty for their doors.

This will wake up the car. And that is exactly what you are looking for.

Next question, what roll bar do you have?

Sunroof is definitely coming out in a couple weeks. Roof skin should be here next week.
Right.. LOL

I saw your Cup next to my RS @Orbit.
It was super clean and beautiful.
What really got me all warm and fuzzy inside were the all black E88 wheels on it! The car just screamed awesome.

Not one where I can switch to lightweight doors unfortunately. I have the RSS roll bar. No front option that I can tell. And I'm too chicken to run light weight doors without some sort of side protection.

Now those Manthey lightweight door panels look intriguing. Drops 20 pounds, keeps all the door features, and they look cool as hell.

Remove a/c, stereo, carpet, sunroof, re-fab dash, windshield fluid and wipers, put in plexiglass, carbon hood and fenders...for starters.

the Manthey interior panels are super cool. Give into the temptation! You said you wanna go light weight!
